What is recorded here

In a recreation area, in a housing estate on the E outskirts of Killarney. This possible rath is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m), with the perimeter planted with trees, on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. Little remains of it apart from a low N-S earthen bank (L 56m), against which large stones have been placed, which may incorporate elements of it. The S end of this bank (Wth 5.1m; H 0.8m) curves slightly. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
